I work in an office and here's what I snack on:

1. Tootsie roll pops. Always keep a few with me
2. Hard candies, particularly from the asian market. Much more variety, texture, and flavor than you can find elsewhere
3. I usually have cashew or a banana 1-2 hours before the end of the day, so I'm not cranky while I drive home in traffic.

Anything that goes well with coffee
We have awesome coffee

Work in corporate office, have a desk drawer and a membership to Sam's Club.

First 3 months I got the giant tub of animal crackers, chocolate covered raisins, multi pack nutrigrain bars, big tex cinnamon rolls, and Lance variety cracker packs.

Then I recently got trail mix, cookies individually wrapped, nature valley almond granola bars. All around $40 for a few months

i've only ever tried Moniack and Lyme Bay, seem to be the only popular ones in the UK. I like both, very few places seem to stock it, some specialist wine places or Amazon are my go to. It's reasonably worth it, i wouldn't drink it regularly but its really nice once in a while
If you like honey and a sweeter wine then you'll love mead

What country are you from?

I know of a few decent English makers

I'm in the US and unfortunately in Jersey, can't ship alcohol here. Luckily NYC is close by, so knowing some good brands and hoping I find them somewhere in the city is probably my best bet.

Is expensive if you buy stuff in the supermarket

Depends on what you're cooking but it shouldn't be that expensive. Compared to eating out, you should be saving money. What are you buying that's expensive? Shop around and you should figure things out.

How cheap is stove gas in USA?

>want to bake anything
>takes only 1 hour
>want to cook
>first ingredient is broth
>this alone takes at least 4 hours

even if I buy my ingredients at farmers market in bulk, I still need to pay delivery and keep running a refrigeration system to store everything.
On the other hand to bake anything you only need flour, sugar, salt and some fat. Stay away from chocolate and you'll be fine.

idk baked potato chips? a bag of baked lays is like 110 calories, but white cheddar popcorn is good too

>>8062639
pickles
banchan
sauerkraut, etc

Any sort of pickled vegetable but it won't replace the texture.

because it sucks

>>8062629
You don't fly much, do you?

I drink vodka mixed with v8 sometimes.

>>8062610
boiled broccoli and grilled chiken breast

>>8062610
none.

anything can be healthy desu. there's eating chicken with no oil and brown rice and steamed broccoli but there's also just not eating pure junk.

>>8062564
You're not overweight so it's surprising that you feel that way about food. You could easily be overweight, try foraging for food, if food itself is your obsession. What did our ancestors' eat, because it's growing out there in the wild, for you to find if only you'll venture into the wilderness!

>>8062581
I already do this.
I go foraging for berries, mushrooms, nuts, crops etc and I carry a battery toaster to make a sandwich from the ingredients. I don't usually eat it and I have been threatened with arrest after stealing cheese from a private farm. But the whole time I could only think of food. My hands TWITCH if I am not touching food. I have to sprinkle semolina on my keyboard to be able to type. its hard to do without being seen at work.

since I started this thread I made 3 sandwiches
wake me up

What material bread pan are you using? That can affect the time and even-ness of a bake

>>8062480
take it out of the bread pan when there 10 min left

>>8062484
Its quite stiff glass, also I am not sure if the flour is right.

What kind of pan should I use and if anyone can recommend flours for frenchbread kind of breads I would really appriciate.

cheers

Rice and beans etc etc.

>>8062466

hot sauce
eggs
cheap cuts of chicken (boil the left-over bones in water and use the infused water when boiling your beans)

Why not just name it British food thread?

I've been considering building a smoker from wood and brick, with that old fashioned style with the fire pit in a hole woth the smoke piped in. You know what I mean? I've never smoked before though, so I'm not sure I wanna make the investment.

>>8062452

that sounds sick, i do know what you mean. I ultimately want to get a kamado style smoker (green egg, kamado joe, etc) or maybe just an offset smoker like a char broil, but just want to try a few smokes before making that kind of investment.

I'm brand new at this so I shouldn't be handing out information, but check Craigslist or whatever, see if you can find one of these Char Broil/Brinkmann bullet smokers. You can probably pick one up for like $50, another $30 or so for a few bags of charcoal and some wood, $10 for a chimney, and you're ready to roll. Less if you already have a charcoal grill

>>8062444
Best mod will be a PID temperature controller.
I can not stress how much better you smoking will be through consistent temperature regulation.
It is literally set and forget too. Maybe check the charcoal level every 3-4 hours, but that's it.

All you need are a few cheap electrical parts off eBay.
Probably run you $40 max
Less if you already have parts at home you can re purpose.

Heres some inspiration

celery
carrots
water
asparagus
broccoli
brussel sprouts
grapefruit
mushrooms
tomatoes
zucchini

lean meat like chicken breast or fish fillets

by ruling out vegetables there isn't much to pick from that low calorie because dairy meats and grains are all high in fat, protein or carb

You are best off diluting good food with vegetables ex. cut up meat and put in a salad or make beef stew with lots of carrots, turnip, cabbage and stuff like that

>>8062412
>bonus points if it is not a vegetable
Kill yourself, manchild

Cook some flour in the oil until its dark brown ....add water....done

You can also add milk for a richer gravy.

Flour is plebe tier. Use corn starch if you have it on hand; it won't dilute the flavor as much as flour and is rather neutral tasting.
